- 2.5 Cups AP Flour

Steps
- In a stand mixer...

- Whisk to dissolve the Yeast and Sugar
- Let sit for 8 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast
- After the Yeast has been activated....
- Add the Vegetable Oil, 2 Tablespoons Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder and Flour
- With the Dough Hook attached start the mixer on Low Speed. As the ingredients begin to incorporate increase the speed to Medium. Continue to kneed the dough for 3 to 4 minutes. The dough should pull away from the sides and should be soft and elastic.
- Remove the dough from the hook and form a ball.
- Return the dough to the bowl and cover with Plastic Wrap
- Set in a warm draft free place. .....I usually put the oven on warm for about 20 seconds then shut it off before putting the bowl in. I also turn on the light for added heat
- Allow the dough to Double in size...it may take up to 2 hours
- Turn the dough out onto your work surface. Stretch the dough into an 8x8” square and press down on the dough to flatten
- Roll the dough to a ¼” thickness.
- Cut the dough into 3.5” rounds using a cookie cutter. Gather the remaining dough and set aside.
- Brush the rounds with veggie oil and fold in half. Roll each one slightly.
- Place the buns into your parchment lined steamer and place the lid on. Let them rest for 30 minutes
- Roll out the remaining dough and repeat the above steps
- After resting the buns turn on the heat to your steamer. When the water begins to boil put the bun pans on top.
- Steam the buns for 8 to 10 minutes
- Remove the buns
- They are ready to enjoy
